Environmental Chemistry Lecture Notes by Asoka Marasinghe

This lecture note is an introduction to key environmental chemistry topics. It begins with the composition of the atmosphere and pollutants responsible for environmental degradation. The topics discussed include the Chapman cycle, protection of the ozone layer, and the seasonal depletion of ozone in Antarctica. Principles of combustion, alternative fuels, and the role of water in environmental sustainability are also covered in it. This occupies a good part of the note-writing; acid rain, and its impact on the environment. It is basically important reading to those students who wish to link chemistry with environmental protection.

An Introduction to Environmental Chemistry by M Fazal ur Rehman

This lecture note provides a comprehensive introduction to environmental chemistry, focusing on the chemical processes that shape the environment. It covers the structure of the atmosphere, temperature inversion, photochemical smog, and issues such as acid rain, greenhouse gases, and global warming. The note delves into the depletion of the ozone layer and various forms of water pollution, including eutrophication and wastewater treatment. Additionally, it addresses the principles of metal extraction, soil pH, ion exchange, and the availability of plant nutrients. Topics on green chemistry, recycling, CO2 sequestration, and green synthesis make this a crucial resource for understanding the intersection of chemistry and environmental science. Ideal for students in environmental science, chemistry, and related fields, this note also provides practical solutions to pressing environmental challenges.

Environmental chemistry by NPTEL

Environmental chemistry by NPTEL

This NPTEL online lecture series will go through an in-depth discussion on environmental chemistry, especially with respect to atmospheric composition, the behavior of contaminants, and natural degradation pathways. Lectures cover control techniques in air pollution, the major sources of water pollution, and the processes of water treatment. In addition, the lecture deals with soil pollution: its causes, effects, and remedial measures. Special attention is accorded to contaminants and their interactions with the environment, so this is a great book for students and researchers alike, interested in knowing the influence of chemical processes on the environment and how these can be abated through technological and chemical means.
